Wow so 4 - 1 now in favor of bd?

Thanks for the post Merlin!

Been waiting for these numbers.

Love those Since Inception numbers. Seeing it move roughly 5 points in a week is very revealing.

"Go HD-DVD go!!! Keep showing Blu-ray who's boss! ***** Sony!!!"

^Probable HD-DUD fanboy response from AVS.

Eat it hd dud!

KenThompson · 03-23-2007, 07:25 PM

Where will those numbers be when the Pirate movies come out. All those Playstation 3's in Europe will only increase sales to a point Universal will have no more excuses and release in Blu.

DTMoney84 · 03-23-2007, 07:27 PM

The red HDDUD lines keep sinking lower and lower into oblivion.

nhaase · 03-23-2007, 07:51 PM

The "Since Inception" graph is the best, since it shows that since BR became the leader HD-DVD just keeps going down in sales, it doesn't even level out after Feb. 18th. This is great news.

As I mentioned ealier in another Nielsen thread, if you interpolate these trends, by the time the Pirates arrive, the sales since inception will be around 2:1. That meaning: When Pirate discs are in stores, There would be 2.6 million BDs at homes while there would only be 1.3 million HD DVDs at home, give or take a few hundred thousand. We'll see.

Wouldn't that be extrapolating the trends?

Yes, and also remember that HD-DVD had no March releases, until next Tuesday, that is.

When Pirates fo the Hi-Definition...er, Caribiean debuts, maybe HD will finally walk the plank.

It will depend on how The Matrix Trilogy sells and is reported, since it comes out the same week. If they report one sell as three, since there are three movies, it will skew the numbers for them, if they're reported as one sell, it's skewed for BD. This is a good competitor for them, but Apocalypto and Flags of Our Fathers really helps BD that week.
